    Slim fast - In high school when I wasn’t even close to overweight and never thought about my weight but my best friend (who was also normal weight) told me about the shakes and we drank them to “be skinnier.”

    Jenny Craig - Two years after my 3rd pregnancy (with twins), I was a lean 144 pounds. But I had it in my head to get down to 127 which is what I weighed before my first preganacy. I got tired of eating the same microwaved food day after day. Since I didn’t understand about calorie deficits, I thought there was something magical about the food they sold because I lost a few pounds.

    Ballerina Tea - had NO CLUE what this actually was (Senna). The box showed graceful pictures of tall, thin ballerinas in tutus, and the cashier at the Asian market assured me it worked. When my resting heart rate shot up, I googled, and realized I had been dehydrating myself :(

    Severe Calorie restriction - coupled with the ballerina tea, I lost about 10-12 pounds in a few weeks. Was so hungry, broke down and gained it all back quickly.

    Dr. Mercola’s keto diet - but I didn’t know that it was in fact keto at the time, about 5 years ago. Lost weight but only lasted two weeks, got dizzy and flushed, which scared me! Marched into the kitchen and promptly ate a ton of crackers and instantly felt less anxious. (Not saying keto is a fad, just that I didn’t know what was normal or what to expect.)
